Pisces Season
According to Greek mythology, Aphrodite and Eros were casually walking along the riverbank one day. Unbeknownst to them, Gaia (AKA Mother Earth) sent her son Typhon to wage war against the gods. Why? I haven’t the faintest clue. Zeus, being the protective Father that he is, turned both Aphrodite and Eros into fishes, tied them […]

Leo Full Snow Moon
While January tends to be the coldest month of the year, February is the month that typically has the heaviest snow fall. During the Full Snow Moon, Native Americans would use this time to trap beavers, foxes, and mink. This is the time when their furs are filled in the most, making them the warmest […]

The Star
The Star, our tarot card for Aquarius season, is the manifestation card. With this card comes hope, which I think we could all use a little more of about now. We all have these mental pictures of what we wished our lives were like, our aspirations for the future. Then reality kicks in and brings […]

Lunar New Year
Happy Lunar New Year! This year’s Spring Festival is here giving us a sort of second chance at hitting those New Year resolutions. I didn’t actually make any this year. In fact I rarely do anymore, preferring to wait until springtime to begin any sweeping life changes. I would always get so frustrated when I […]

Venus Direct in Capricorn
Venus, the planet that governs our values, goes direct Saturday, January 29, 2022, and will remain so until March 6, 2022. This astrological event jump starts us off to a fresh eight-year course, the last one occurring from December 21, 2013 to January 31, 2014. Expect a similar cycle of awareness to occur. Venus rules […]

Cancer Full Wolf Moon
We have our first full moon of the year on January 17, a Wolf Moon as the Native Americans call it. The story dictates that wolves were found outside of their villages on these cold, snowy winter nights. Wolves howling at the moon is folklore, based on the simple fact that wolves hunt at night. […]

The Devil
The Devil card holds within it the most profound liberation in the tarot. This particular card, like most of the major arcana, invites us to check in with the ego. When the Devil shows up in a reading the brain has a tendency to sort of freak out, which happens any time there is any […]

Happy New Year
I haven’t actually celebrated the Gregorian New Year in quite a few years. Working in the restaurant industry was the ultimate killjoy for the majority of our cultural holidays, including New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. I am reminded of the restaurant I worked at where we hid in the employee stairwells while chugging […]

Authentic Expression
Full moons have been given a bad rap. We can thank westernized religion for that one. Christianity is so confusing for me. It’s like they picked all the things from other religions that they liked and mashed it all into a book of dominion and power over others. For example, the act of decorating a […]

Sagittarius Solar New Moon Eclipse
This was the second solar eclipse of 2021, the first being on June 10 during the Gemini New Moon. That one invited us to take a giant leap into unknown territories, to try something that we never in a million years thought was possible. This, very much like the Fool in tarot, can be terrifying […]
